it is giving me this result
C:\Users\Admin>C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin>mysql -u georgejr -p ‘C:\Program’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
@georgejr have you clicked on the button just below MySQL connections? What is the output? because it must let you to a login to your database.

This is his error https://pastebin.com/3Duw2A8a
@jwnasambu i tried doing this but it still failed
@tendomart i don’t understand this result Failed to connect to the specified database jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/root?autoReconnect=true&sessionVariables=default_storage_engine%3DInnoDB&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8 ->
for this ( The distribution requires MySQL database. Please specify database uri (-DdbUri) (default: ‘jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/@DBNAME@’): jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/root), i tried to run without “root” but it didn’t work out well.
